    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Some fresh new hotness!!! New spats mounted up, along with the rudder horns glued in. Tomorrow comes the big one, cutting up the cowl and baffling it.

    Power boards/expanders really needed?

    These are what I use in my 35%: http://www.pulsebattery.com/batteries/all-batteries/pulse-5000mah-2s-7-4v-15c-receiver-battery-lipo-battery.html I can get probably 10 hard flights off a set of them before needing to recharge, and I've got 9 servos.

    I never use a dry iron tip for anything, always wet it with some solder :) (Hakko FX888D 70w iron)

    Soldering bullet connectors isn't that difficult. The trick is to not only tin the wire, but to make sure the entire surface inside of the receptacle is tinned. You don't want to pool the solder up deep inside of the bullet but you don't want to have bare spots either. Takes a little bit of...

    Rebuilding the Yak...again.

    First weekend of November is shaping up to be a fun one... ;) Yup, the Yak will be up again this weekend. Got the canopy in tonight, just need to cut my cowl up, throw the control horns in the rudder, and mount up my spats.

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    That is Squaw Lake Campground in Arizona. Beautiful place to be, would definitely make a nice environment for float flying but when the winds come up it get crazy :oblong:

    Anderson Power Poles are very popular and they definitely seem to work well for most people. If you like them then use them, that's what I have to say. I tried them and was so unimpressed with them that I deposited all of the APP's and crimper tool into someone elses donation bin for them to...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    Went to the river instead of flying, should have brought a foamy with me at least :oblong: Saturday was awesome, weather in the mid 90's, slight breeze, water was cool. Sunday was a total blowout with 15mph+ wind :confused:

    Yessir, I would have settled for nothing less (except maybe a DA200 and that's just for audio purposes only ;) ). What propellers do you have?

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Should be around 700 oz/in at 8.4v, yeah I think she should do well. Seems like it always takes forever to gather parts!! I still need prop, mufflers, batteries, a switch for ignition...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Correct. I fly very slowly, I think one on each elevator should be sufficient ;)

    7980'S on Ailerons and Elevators, 7990 on Rudder (since we're out of stock of 7980's now...).

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Yup, that's the intention. I have a similar setup on my 35% Pilot Yak, hopefully I won't need to go to a 3 aileron servo setup on this airplane otherwise that means having to change to a bigger connector.
